I wouldn't say it's a unique situation & we will still turn up in our droves, however I believe there will be a blue crowd that far outweighs that of red.
I believe we have a 40 mile Radius. But that'll only change when we make the jump to the premiership.

I reckon we will see more and more City fans adopting the Casual gear, rather than opting to wear red or blue. Just my opinion though.We already have a massive number of Casuals and I can only see this increasing for next season.

Yet we couldnt sell out a play off semi final.

Cardiff City Sleeping Giant is a bollocks myth I am getting tired of hearing.

South Wales is one of the poorest areas in the country and most wont be able to afford PL football on a regular basis.

If the Malaysian alienate a generation of football fans I dont think its that simple to replace.
